Unregistered, our brother ReddTigger had a heart attack while riding his Sportster to the 2016 XL Forum East Coast meet up. A Go Fund Me campaign has been set up to assist with medical expenses and bike repair, towing, etc. The accident happened quite a way from home.

how about a sport that is stripped down to resemble the 69 model and weighs under 480 lbs?

The unfortunate thing is that scoots like the Iron 883 are just about stripped down as they can be, to law. Sure, oil covers and strut covers can come off but for there to be any real benefits they need to start properly redesigning the stock parts and recycling parts like brakes from the XR.
